*** Second, glaze is variegated. I was testing out a commercial variegated glaze and decided this wasn't the direction I wanted for the inside glaze.
This textured artisan mug is the perfect vessel to enjoy a generous pour of coffee, loose-leaf tea, or a cozy morning latte. Handcrafted from durable clay, the striking contrast between the rustic, tactile exterior and the rich, matte teal glazed interior makes this mug a truly unique piece of functional art.

THE ARTISAN PROCESS & DESIGN
- Wheel-Thrown & Trimmed: Individually shaped by hand on the potter's wheel, flipped, and precision-trimmed once the rim is firm enough to support itself.
- Slip-Transfer Tree Design: While the clay is still very wet, a light green slip is transferred onto the pot using newsprint paper, then layers of white slip are strategically transferred on top to build up the tree design.
- Antiqued Exterior & Matte Teal Interior: After the initial firing, a dark wash is applied to the outside for an antiqued appearance, while a matte teal glaze is applied to the inside for a vibrant pop of color.
- Firing & Hand-Sanded Finish: The mug is fired a second and final time, then the exterior is wet-sanded by hand for a super smooth, luxurious feel.
